GHSA-r77h-rpp9-w2xm: Spotipy has a XSS vulnerability in its OAuth callback server

### Summary XSS vulnerability in OAuth callback server allows JavaScript injection through unsanitized error parameter. Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser during OAuth authentication. ### Details **Vulnerable Code:** `spotipy/oauth2.py` lines 1238-1274 (RequestHandler.do_GET) **The Problem:** During OAuth flow, spotipy starts a local HTTP server to receive callbacks. The server reflects the `error` URL parameter directly into HTML without sanitization. **Vulnerable code at line 1255:** ```python status = f"failed ({self.server.error})" ``` **Then embedded in HTML at line 1265:** ```python self._write(f"""<html> <body> <h1>Authentication status: {status}</h1> </body> </html>""") ``` The `error` parameter comes from URL parsing (lines 388-393) without HTML escaping, allowing script injection. **Attack Flow:** 1. User starts OAuth authentication → local server runs on `http://127.0.0.1:8080` 2. Attacker crafts malicious URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8080/?err...

GHSA-6qj9-2g9m-29x9: Tryton sao allows XSS because it does not escape completion values

Tryton sao (aka tryton-sao) before 7.6.11 allows XSS because it does not escape completion values. This is fixed in 7.6.11, 7.4.21, 7.0.40, and 6.0.69.

GHSA-5p82-2q3r-wj3m: ThingsBoard allows an authenticated user to upload malicious SVG images

ThingsBoard in versions prior to v4.2.1 allows an authenticated user to upload malicious SVG images via the "Image Gallery", leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The exploit can be triggered when any user accesses the public API endpoint of the malicious SVG images, or if the malicious images are embedded in an `iframe` element, during a widget creation, deployed to any page of the platform (e.g., dashboards), and accessed during normal operations. The vulnerability resides in the `ImageController`, which fails to restrict the execution of JavaScript code when an image is loaded by the user's browser. This vulnerability can lead to the execution of malicious code in the context of other users' sessions, potentially compromising their accounts and allowing unauthorized actions.

Microsoft to Block Unauthorized Scripts in Entra ID Logins with 2026 CSP Update

Microsoft has announced plans to improve the security of Entra ID authentication by blocking unauthorized script injection attacks starting a year from now. The update to its Content Security Policy (CSP) aims to enhance the Entra ID sign-in experience at "login.microsoftonline[.]com" by only letting scripts from trusted Microsoft domains run. "This update strengthens security and adds an extra

GHSA-x6vr-q3vf-vqgq: REDAXO CMS is vulnerable to Reflected XSS in Mediapool Info Banner via args[types]

### Summary A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Mediapool view where the request parameter `args[types]` is rendered into an info banner without HTML-escaping. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution in the backend context when an authenticated user visits a crafted link while logged in. ### Details Control Flow: 1. `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/index.php` reads args via `rex_request('args', 'array')` and passes them through as `$argUrl` to `media.list.php`. 2. `redaxo/src/addons/mediapool/pages/media.list.php` injects `$argUrl['args']['types']` into an HTML string without escaping: ``` if (!empty($argUrl['args']['types'])) { echo rex_view::info(rex_i18n::msg('pool_file_filter') . ' <code>' . $argUrl['args']['types'] . '</code>'); } ``` ### PoC 1. Log into the REDAXO backend. 2. While authenticated, open a crafted URL like: `<host>/index.php?page=mediapool/media&args[types]="><img+src%3Dx+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29>` 4. The inf...

GHSA-g9gq-3pfx-2gw2: OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS via noscript tag and improper style tag sanitization

### Summary It is observed that OWASP java html sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS if HtmlPolicyBuilder allows `noscript` and `style` tags with `allowTextIn` inside the style tag. This could lead to XSS if the payload is crafted in such a way that it does not sanitise the CSS and allows tags which is not mentioned in HTML policy. ### Details The OWASP java HTML sanitizer is vulnerable to XSS. This only happens when HtmlPolicyBuilder allows `noscript` & `style` tag with `allowTextIn` inside style tags. The following condition is very edge case but if users combine a HtmlPolicyBuilder with any other tags except `noscript` and allow `style` tag with `allowTextIn` inside the style tag then In this case sanitizer would be safe from XSS. This happens because how the browser also perceives `noscript` tags post sanitization. ### PoC 1. Lets create a `HtmlPolicyBuilder` which allows `p, noscript, style` html tags and allows `.allowTextIn("style")`. 2. There are two XSS payloads which very ...

GHSA-68q5-78xp-cwwc: Contao is vulnerable to cross-site scripting in templates

### Impact It is possible to inject code into the template output that will be executed in the browser in the front end and back end. ### Patches Update to Contao 4.13.57, 5.3.42 or 5.6.5. ### Workarounds Do not use the affected templates or patch them manually. ### Refsources https://contao.org/en/security-advisories/cross-site-scripting-in-templates

GHSA-w66h-j855-qr72: GeoServer has a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its WMS GetFeatureInfo HTML format

### Summary A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the WMS GetFeatureInfo HTML output format that enables a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a victim's browser through specially crafted SLD_BODY parameters. ### Details The WMS service setting that controls HTML auto-escaping is either disabled by default, or completely missing, in the affected versions (see workarounds). ### Impact If an attacker can control a script that is executed in the victim's browser, then they can typically fully compromise that user. Amongst other things, the attacker can: 1. Perform any action within the application that the user can perform. 2. View any information that the user is able to view. 3. Modify any information that the user is able to modify. 4. Initiate interactions with other application users, including malicious attacks, that will appear to originate from the initial victim user. ### Workarounds Changing any of the following WMS service sett...

GHSA-vqc7-7fj4-3fm3: REDAXO CMS is vulnerable to XSS through its module management component

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the module management component in REDAXO CMS 5.20.0 allows remote users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Output code field in modules. The payload is executed when a user views or edits an article by adding slice that uses the compromised module.
